Seriously, Staler, I thought you were above the old canard that atheists 'hate God'. Not much above it, but still above it.
I disbelieve in Shiva, Ahura-Mazda, Vishnu, and every other god posited. Do I hate all those also?
By the way, you also disbelieve in all those other gods. Why do much hate toward them, Statler?
You'd believe if you just opened your heart" is a terrible argument for religion. It's basically saying, "If you bias yourself enough, you can convince yourself that this is true." If religion were true, people wouldn't need faith to believe it -- it would be supported by good evidence.
